In a new DNS Threat Index report from Infoblox, in the third quarter of 2015, malicious domain creation for exploit kits increased 75 percent. This indicates that the command-and-control (C&C) infrastructure behind these kits exploded last quarter.

The report stated that cyber-criminals create new domains as a foundation for unleashing a variety of threats ranging from simple malware to exploit kits, phishing, distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, and data exfiltration.
